The students were shown many examples of custom guitars. They were challenged to create a theme in their guitar that reflected a personal interest. Students were given the option to use a pre-existing guitar template, or to create a completely new design. As you can see from the photos below, the students definitely rose to the challenge. I'm once again blown away by the variety and creativity in our young artist.
In other art news-- Milwaukee Empty Bowls:
A few of the staff from WMIS have been getting together on Fridays after school to create and glaze ceramic bowls for a fantastic organization. Empty Bowls is a one day fundraising event. It pairs artists, schools, and local resteraunts to raise money for local food banks and pantries. The event will take place this Saturday, October 8th. Families are encouraged to come and buy a bowl (student made bowls are $10; artist made bowls are $20). After purchasing a bowl, you can sample dozens of soups made by neighoring resteraunts and enjoy being serenaded by local musicians. This is a great family friendly event.
